The Cleveland Indians are now "The Guardians".

[ace7550]

The Indians will continue to be the Indians just like the Redskins will continue to be the Redskins. The name change is for liberals, not for normal people.

You don't remember when some Basketball Team tried to start a team called the Fighting Whities? All the white guys bought up the gear and made them look like clowns so they got rid of the name.

So what you are saying is that whites will be offended if the Indians named their teams after them, right?

No that's not what im saying im saying the white guys liked the name and didn't get all worked up over it. Like the Fighting Irish, I have Irish family in the UK that love the logo and took it as a sign of respect.

[magpie878]

What a stupid name.

I thought Kraken was ridiculous and sounded like an WNBA team.

This one's just silly.

[Weems2k]

So their new logo is going to be Groot, or Drax now?

Yes

[Roger T. Bannon]

It is really impossible to come up with a good name for a team. Team names are stupid.

[Kermit]

Should have just went The Cleveland Baseball Team.

[Roger T. Bannon]

Washington Football Team is actually an all-time great name and now they are going to come up with something like Flash.

The teams make their money from merchantise sales. Imagine if you shelled $200 for a Washington Redskins jersey 2 years ago, then bought the Washington Football Team jersey and next year you buy the Washington Senators or whatever name they chose this is an easy $600 the owner made out of one fan. Multiply that by 100,000 and you see how the owner is a billionaire.

[JIBBBY]

Worst name change ever.. Woke fools!!!

[Runeblade]

I'll make the same amount of money betting on them even if they changed their name to the Cleveland f**k ups.....

[Ryermkd]

I actually like the logo

[Ryermkd]

The new one I mean...

As a lifetime Indian fan, I would have liked them to just be called the Tribe or The Land. I guess I can cross out my InDIANS and insert GuarDIANS

Cleveland The Land? Would they be Landers?

Should have gone with Rockers. Like Cleveland Rocks. Or is that to close to the Rockies?

Guardians sounds like they can't handle their financial affairs.

[19th Hole]

The BURNERS after the Cuyahoga River.

I just explained that to someone else complaining about how they don't have a name yet. It's a great move. lol

[Mr KLC]

I wonder if they will rename their stadium "The G Spot". Hope not. A lot of them will probably miss the game.

[Chief Wahoo]

Embarrassing! Seriously, this is so ridiculous.

[dlowilly]

They should be called the Woke Hall Monitors

[JIBBBY]

Scared owner should have gone all the way with the name change to please the sponsors and offended woke snowflakes.

The Cleveland Libertarians or the Cleveland Wokians.


I will always call Cleveland and Washington the Indians and Redskins, fock em I say. Woke love changing history.

Funny thing is most native Indians will tell you they were not offended by the names.

Well played.

[Mr KLC]

[stevenash]

Why not the Cleveland Baseball Team?????

Agreed.
Who says they even have to have a nickname.

How about just "Cleveland"

[Doug tushyterror]

This would’ve been the perfect nickname. "Solid" choice & ironically funny at the same time.

[Ryermkd]

Well played.

[beerman2619]

are they serious with this dumb sh*t? they probably dropped millions on outside help to source a name and this is what they come up with? LOL

[mcaulay777]

The Indoor Soccer Team had a great name Cleveland Force.

[dlowilly]

It was between this and Cleveland Taint Warts

Man the 80's and 90's were a great time to grow up! Never realized how lucky I was until now. I feel bad for my 10-year-old.

[Chi_archie]

couldn't go with

Cleveland Karens?
